Fighting Spammers on the Starsofintrepid.com MediaWiki
I was informed last week that the Stars of Intrepid Wiki I had setup to save the history of the Intrepid server from Star Wars Galaxies had a sudden influx of gold farming spammers. I went and checked it out and Daethe seemed to be on top of taking care of the edits. Over the weekend however more of this popped up, so I went hunting on how to block spam on a MediaWiki installation. I found this article which gave me some options, and I think I implemented about all of them.
We’ll see how it goes and if I’m on top of it now.
